- Welcome along to the next Obsession Engineering project. Dave has treated himself to a 'new' 1998 Yamaha R1, bought from a friend it just needs putting together. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm not even sure how I found this video. I don't own an R1 and wasn't interested until I sat and watched this completely transfixed. Subscribed and currently looking to buy an R1.
They are great bikes, and glad you enjoyed the series :)
Nice project,I am original owner of 1998 blue R-1 with 55k trouble free miles,make sure your bike has had the clutch basket recall done as it can fail-krack apart under severe use,check by steering head numbers for 2 punch makers indicating it was replaced,enjoy your ride!
It has been done, although I wasn't especially aware of it. Luckily my mate who'd had it before me worked in a Yamaha dealer and made sure it was right
Just found your channel and just finished watching the SP rebuild, Looking forward to the R1 build. Very good channel !
You are such a calm and collected person, if I saw oil on the bench I'd be panicking and effing and jeffing, nice project and looking forward to seeing the rest.
Nice to see all those "classic" bikes on your channel - makes me feel young again....
Finding a tool. Excellent. The yin that offsets the yang of losing a tool at the scrapyard. One makes your heart flutter in ecstasy whilst the other makes it miss a beat in despair.
The problem with the early r1s is the fuel over flow pipes are directly clamped above the exhaust, so when you slide off, the bike goes up in flames as mine did at the silverstone circuit. The fuel lines were like this from the factory, mine was the 99 r1. Loverly bikes and better when tuned.
I'll keep that in mind, though hoping not to throw it down the road to test!
These are the best looking R1's imo
I have a 98 and a 99 love them both
Also have an 09 R1 raven I hardly ride thinking about selling it and get a few more 98/99's to restore
Great video btw
Found your channel during the lockdown and it's kept me sane. 😂 Love your channel and projects (Ducati 748..💪🏼) can't wait to see the rest of the R1.
Awesome! Thank you!
Cracking machine Dave!!! Good luck with it!
I’m in love with this channel.all bikes of my time.. the HONDA sp1 was a great build
Glad you enjoy it!
Best video collection on TH-cam. Done 3 of the best bikes ever upto date. I would try get a standard can for the r1
Yay new project. Loving your Haynes Manual reference 👍🏼
Glad you liked that bit :)
Good viewing for a cold Sunday morning
As ever, really enjoying your videos - both content and delivery are excellent. Many thanks
I just overhauled my 2000 motor. Had the second gear slip. Put new rings in to with a good hone job. Wast that hard. The hardest part was getting the flywheel off to split the cases. Broke 2 pullers. Had to cut the fukin thing off i had a spare.
Enjoyed watching this. I too have a Jigsaw bike but it's only a ZZR600 with all the bits I've obtained since I got my first ZZR600E7 six years ago. Just come in from my garage now where I go to avoid human contact with folk. Back in the day I would have been called a hermit but it all seems quite normal to me! :-)
Nothing wrong with a bit of quiet time, lol
Great video looking forward to next video's stay safe 🇬🇧👍
Another exciting project to restore Dave! I love your humour & optimism in spades! Thanks for providing this in times of gloom 🙏👌⭐️
So looking forward to this one ! Great bike.😁
sounds mint. looking forward to this one m8!
Another proper motorbike, i love it.
The clock problem might be the main connector block that you had to fit. It's very common for those connectors to corrode. You can buy a new block and repin it. I had to do this to mine.
Good luck with it.👍
A bit of a clean up and it helped loads :)
Awesome video Dave, you lucky man I just had to buy a 27mm socket 👍
Low volts to the clocks in idle will do that. My fzs1000 clocks would go off when headlights on high beam unless the revs were well up.
Well excited for this Dave. I love a Gen1 R1, especially in Red and White.
Looking forward to "more, R1 action"
Nice one Dave. I do like a 4xv.
98 gauges were notorious for giving problems I have 2000 model gauges on mine.... actually I only have a 98 chassis everything else is the 2000 model ......205 differences. Everything is pretty much interchangeable except the starter motor internals and electrics
Yeah, nice bike! 😃👌
Ooooh new build. (rubs hands)
Смотря это видео самому захотелось приобрести yzf r1 1998 года.
Lovely bike nice to see you giving it some love and attention
Stumbled across your video due to the R1 content. And your name rang a bell. I think we raced bikes with BMCRC in the same era - 2001-2003?
And to add to the nostalgia I owned a 1998 R1 from new back in day. I put 98,000 miles on it riding it to work. I was all excited to get to 100k miles but someone stole it!
And do you recall an old good friend of mine Adam Polczyk - I think he raced in SS400 with you at some point.
Will be following this R1 build with interest.
Hi Steve, you're right, we did race with Bemsee at the same time and I remember Adam too. Good times back then! Might have to find another 400 to build, lol.
Shame your bike got nicked, still some strong miles on her though
Nice project always wanted one but the feckin insurance was too expensive!,
Great to see another project underway, looks very clean as a starter and I'm sure you'll have it fighting fit for the warm weather!
I'm sure you'll check everything over, but looking at the rear indicators, looked like the right one may be fitted incorrectly with the drain cut out at the top. Ask me why I check for this on my second hand bikes of this period now...
Well spotted! The right hand mirror isn't available so it's a left fitted upside down. I do have a right hand lens to sort it out though
Nice seeing you do another project. The fault code (needle settling at 8000rpm) isn't that the TPS which needs to be adjusted.
It's fuel tank level sensor on these
I read is it later. Will you do a carb sync and a TPS adjust? I thoroughly enjoy you channel...keep it up! 👍🏼
Cheers Mr Hewson. May I suggest a good quality set of JIS screw drivers.
Best thing I ever bought
excellent! love the early r1's. so ..... will this be on the track or just for the road? looking forward to the next instalment! cheers!
Just road. I've got enough track bikes already!
0:35 what did you mean by RIM mounted brakes?
At one point many many many years ago some bright spark came up with idea of only having the brake surface of a disc brake with out the middle bit that holds it to the hub by bolting said brake surface to the rim of the wheel like an extra rim on inside edge of wheel, down side as I recall is more weight on edge of wheel has more effect than in the middle.
@@owen368 Like Buell used to do I guess....
@@knopv Could not remember who tried it but they sound likely as they also tried fuel in frame if memory serves.
Yep, Buell used the idea, and there were some after market versions. The disc was fixed directly to the inside edge of the wheel rim. Good idea to allow bigger diameter discs. Just didn't catch on
@@obsession_engineering oh okay. I'm familiar with the rim mounted brake on a Buell I just didn't know that the aftermarket had made them for other bikes.
How come you didn't check the float height?
I've never been overly concerned by float heights, but it is a good shout!!!
This looks too easy for a man of your skills
So far it has been easy, lol
What about valves? Assuming those are still in spec?
Yep, Andy was very thorough and even wrote down the clearances for me. all tip top
